What we do
we specialize in building communities, business platforms, and ecosystems across a wide range of industries. Our goal is to create innovative solutions that connect people, businesses, and industries for sustainable growth and progress. Here’s an overview of what we do:
Building Communities, Advancing Industries, and Embracing a Sustainable Future
Once upon a time, in the dynamic world of business and innovation, there was a company called Influent Group—a leader in building not just businesses, but thriving, interconnected communities and ecosystems. The company operated across a wide spectrum of industries, each designed to make a profound impact on the lives of individuals, businesses, and societies as a whole.
Influent Group's journey began with a simple yet powerful mission: to bring people together and create lasting, sustainable solutions that would transform industries and communities. By carefully curating and developing platforms, ecosystems, and partnerships, they set out to tackle challenges and create opportunities in a variety of sectors.
A Vision of Impact
In the world of real estate investment and development, Influent Group made its mark as an innovative developer, bringing forward master-planned communities with a blend of residential, commercial, industrial, and mixed-use properties. Notable among their developments was the Highland Springs subdivision in Chilliwack, an award-winning project that brought together modern design, sustainability, and community engagement. Their work extended across the Lower Mainland and Thompson-Okanagan of BC, where they helped shape communities where people could live, work, and thrive.
In hotels, resorts, and hospitality, Influent Group aimed to redefine luxury and comfort by creating spaces that foster connection and elevate experiences. They understood that hospitality isn’t just about accommodation—it’s about creating unforgettable moments and memories that stay with you long after your stay.
Procurement
Procurement, e-commerce, and retail were other key areas where Influent Group shone. In 2025, they were set to launch SHAUCT.com, a revolutionary procurement and specialty e-commerce platform, accompanied by a physical showroom in Richmond, BC. SHAUCT would become a central hub for construction supplies, multi-functional consumer goods, and cutting-edge industrial products, empowering businesses and individuals with the resources they needed to build and create.
But that was just the beginning. Influent Group was involved in industries as diverse as transportation, storage, and logistics, finance, payments, and wealth management, arts, culture, and entertainment, and sports, gaming, and play. Each of these sectors was driven by a shared vision: to bring people together, empower individuals, and contribute to the global economy in meaningful ways.
The Influent Foundation
What truly set Influent Group apart was their deep commitment to social responsibility and sustainability. As a responsible corporate citizen, they recognized that success wasn't just about financial gain—it was about creating positive change for the community and the environment. That’s why they created the Influent Foundation, a sister, not-for-profit organization with a clear mandate to drive responsible growth, promote human progress, and champion world citizenship.
With a focus on biodiversity, human development, and sustainable practices, the Influent Foundation worked tirelessly to address global challenges. They knew that true success comes not just from building businesses, but from ensuring the well-being of future generations.
A New Era of Innovation and Education
Influent Group also understood the importance of education and skills training in today’s rapidly evolving world. They were deeply invested in providing people with the tools, knowledge, and opportunities to thrive in an ever-changing landscape. Their efforts extended into the technology, design, and innovation space, where they supported groundbreaking ideas and cutting-edge solutions that would shape the future.
In the realms of health, fitness, and wellbeing, Influent Group created environments that nurtured physical, mental, and emotional health, knowing that a well-balanced life was key to long-term success. And in travel, lifestyle, and leisure, they helped people reconnect with the world around them, encouraging exploration, adventure, and the joy of living life to the fullest.
A Vision for the Future
As Influent Group continued to grow, they remained committed to responsible development and sustainable practices. Whether through innovative real estate projects, cutting-edge technology solutions, or initiatives aimed at preserving the environment, they were always forward-thinking, always striving to improve the world around them.
The story of Influent Group is one of ambition, innovation, and responsibility—a story where business success meets social impact. As they embarked on new ventures and continued to expand their reach, they stayed true to their mission: building communities, fostering growth, and advancing industries with integrity.
And through it all, Influent Group knew that the future they were shaping wasn’t just about building businesses—it was about creating a better world for everyone.
